I suspect there is a certain game-theory type equilibrium on the server where you have two top guilds competing for most mobs. If there is only 1 large raiding guild, like TR monopolizing Trakanon early after Kunark came out, then either it will break into two pieces, or the smaller guilds have an incentive to merge together into a competitor. If Rogean were to snap and delete all TR/TMO characters, my suspicion is that we would see a VD vs BDA/Taken race for raid targets.
I actually don't think the opening of VP will change much - its not like TR/TMO will be so busy in there that they won't have time to get the rest of the spawns. But actually the thing that makes me really sad is the current server population. When I played pre-kunark it was usually 650 at peak times, then 1k when Kunark came out, 750 even in May, and now its maybe 500. I just don't see that number going up again.
